“America will never be a socialist country”

Doamne-ajută! Începusem să am anxietăți pe această temă!

Mike Pence, la adunarea conservatorilor americani:

It was freedom, not socialism, that gave us the most prosperous economy in the history of the world. (Applause.)

It was freedom, not socialism, that ended slavery, won two world wars, and stands today as the beacon of hope for all the world. (Applause.)

It was freedom, not socialism, that’s moving us beyond the prejudices of the past to create a more perfect union and extend the blessings of liberty to every American regardless of race or creed or color. (Applause.) It was freedom.

And it was freedom, not socialism, that gave us the highest quality of life, the cleanest environment on Earth, and improved the health and well-being of millions around the world. It was freedom.

What Medicare for All really means is quality healthcare for none. The only thing green about the so-called Green New Deal is how much green it’s going to cost taxpayers if these people ever pass it into law. (Applause.)

You know, Margaret Thatcher probably said it best: “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” (Applause.)

The truth is, we want people to make poor people richer; they want to make rich people poorer. We want to make poverty more rare; they want to make poverty more comfortable. And that’s the choice we face today, men and women, between freedom and socialism, between personal responsibility and government dependence. Where freedom encourages investment, socialism stifles growth. Where freedom welcomes diversity, socialism demands conformity.

And as President Trump said in his State of the Union Address, “America was founded on liberty and independence, and not government coercion, domination, and control.” (Applause.)

The moment America becomes a socialist country is the moment that America ceases to be America. (Applause.) And as the President said 24 days ago, so we must say with one voice, “America will never be a socialist country.” (Applause.)

AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA!

THE VICE PRESIDENT: We know where socialism leads. If you want socialism, just look at Venezuela.

Venezuela was once one of the richest and most vibrant democracies in the Western Hemisphere, but under Maduro’s socialist rule, it’s become one of the poorest and most despotic. Today, more than 9 out of 10 people live in poverty in that once-rich country. More than 3 million Venezuelans have abandoned their homes and fled the brutality of the Maduro regime.

But the struggle in Venezuela is between dictatorship and democracy. The struggle in Venezuela is between socialism and freedom.

And as I told world leaders in Colombia just this week, Nicolas Maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power, and Nicolas Maduro must go. (Applause.)

The truth is Venezuela needs what America has. Venezuela needs freedom. (Applause.)

Freedom is about enabling people to live their lives as they see fit, not government control.

Freedom produces more and better goods than any system in any other place and time in American world history.

Freedom is more generous, more helpful, and more humane than any other social or economic model ever attempted because it’s the only philosophy that respects the dignity and worth of every single life and sees every man, woman, and child as made in the image of God. (Applause.) That’s freedom. That’s our heritage. (Applause.)

And freedom works. This is what we believe. This is who we are. But this is the choice we face in the next 20 months.

[…]

So, as you go from this place, go with confidence. Confidence that you have a President that’s fighting every day for the ideals and the values that are at the heart of American greatness. Confidence in the goodness of the American people and the rightness of our cause. And confidence that if we will ask for the blessings of Him who established this miracle of democracy on these wilderness shores so long ago, that we cannot fail. For where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. So freedom always wins. (Applause.)

Iată-l și pe adevăratul MAGA:

And there’s something — it has to be — you’re protecting our country. You’re protecting us. And I would think it must feel good to know that the country is doing really well, as opposed to really badly, like it has done not so long ago. So you’re protecting something that’s very special.

All over the world, they’re talking about us. I go and I meet the prime ministers and presidents, and kings and queens, and they all say, “Mr. President, congratulations on your economy — especially on your economy. We’re trying to copy it, and it’s not working.” It’s just not working for other countries. Other countries are not doing well. And I want them to do well.

But China is way down. The EU is down. A lot of countries are very much down. Most of them. And we’re hitting new highs. So we’re doing a lot of things right, and you folks are a big reason for it.

[…]

That’s why, in the last two years, I’ve spent — when you think about it — over $1.5 trillion. Next year, the 11th Air Force, headquartered right here at J-Bear, will receive the first of 54 brand-new — never used before — F-35 fighter jets. You like them? (Applause.)

Well, for the pilots — you know, I’ve seen a lot of the pilots throughout the country when I stop at different places, and I say, “How do you like the F-35?” “We love it, sir.” “Well, how good is it compared to the enemy aircraft?” “Well, sir, you can’t see it.” I said, “Explain that to me.” “You know, it’s stealth.” It’s the stealthiest plane, by far, in the world. So they say, “Well, when we have battles, you can’t see it.” I said, “Huh, that would be tough.” Wouldn’t it be tough if you have somebody and you can’t see it?

So all I say is this: You get 54 brand new ones. I won’t tell you what they cost because it’s too much. (Laughter.) But it’s a lot of money. But they’re very special and you’re getting very special planes, and you’re getting a lot of them — 54. So they’ll be arriving here very soon.

[…]

We’ll also deploy 20 more ground-based interceptors to Fort Greeley, which will further strengthen our missile defense system. So important. Missile defense system is also being rebuilt very substantially. And we’re going to have the latest and the greatest. Unfortunately, as soon as you have it, you have to redo it because, after about six months, everything becomes obsolete in this world. Right? We do that, they do this. We do that, they do this. It’s never ending. But that’s the way it goes. It’s a cycle.

Our goal is very simple: to ensure that we can monitor, detect, and destroy any missile launched against the United States, no matter what speed we’re talking about. Any missile.

We’re spending a tremendous amount of money now on missile technology and also missile defense technology, at my very strong urging. And what they’re able to do now is incredible. It’s like shooting a needle in the haystack. It’s incredible technology they have. And I said, “Upgrade it further and further. Advance it.”

Dacă n-ai știi despre ce este vorba, ai zice că este circul ambulant. Doamne, ai milă de noi!
